Questions
1. (6 points) We are given that the impulse response of a continuous-time LTI system is of the form
as shown below, where A and T are unknown.
• When the system is subjected to the input x1 (t) as shown in Fig. 2, the output y1 (t) is zero
at t = 5.

• When the input is x2 (t) = sin πt
3 u(t), the output y2 (t) is equal to 9 at t = 9.
2. (10 points) Consider the following transformations from x(t) to y(t) as shown in Fig. 3, where:

X
p(t) = δ(t − k). (1)
k=−∞
3. (8 points) Sampling and reconstruction allow us to process continuous time signals using digital
electronics as shown in the following figure. The “impulse sampler” and “impulse reconstruction”
use sampling interval T = π/100. The function hd [n] represents the unit-impulse response of an
ideal discrete time low-pass filter with gain of 1 for frequencies in the range − π2 < Ω < π2 . The
“ideal LPF” passes frequencies in the range −100 < ω < 100. It also has a gain of T throughout
its pass band. Assume that the Fourier transform of the input xc (t) is Xc (jω) shown below:

(d) (2 pts) Yc (jΩ)
Hint: Use relation Ω = ωT for appropriate axes scaling from continuous to discrete frequencies.
4. (6 points) For a real signal x(t) with the Laplace transform X(s) the following information is
given:
• X(s) has exactly two poles
• X(s) has no zeros in the finite s-plane
• X(s) has one pole at s = −2 + 3j.
• e−5t x(t) is not absolutely integrable.
• X(0) = 2.
(a) (3 Points) Determine whether x[n] is left sided, right sided, or two sided. Support your
answer with proper justification.
(b) (1 Point) Is x[n] Fourier transformable? Justify your answer based on the analysis in part
(a) above.
